HP Smart Tank 790 All-in-One
Microsoft Windows 11

Hi,

I had a fully functional and working printer until today. Somehow, my 790 printer started off with initial set up again. When I was going through the set up, lost power connection and now the printer's on-screen display is stuck at "Set up with HP Smart....Scan the QR code."

Is there a way to factory reset HP 790 printer, or any way to resolve this issue? Thanks!
